WL also predict an increase in surface conductivity (decrease in resistance) :
The number density of heavy electrons on a metallic hydride surface is
of the order of the number density of surface hydrogen atoms when
there is a proton or deuteron flux moving through the surface and LENR
are being neutron catalyzed.
These added heavy electrons produce an anomalously high surface
electrical conductivity at the LENR threshold. ***

Exactly, and more importantly that this phenomenon appears to be
correlated with anomalous heat production (ie successful LENR
experiments), so potentially materials/samples showing a more
pronounced transition from a positive to negative temperature
coefficient of resistance with hydrogen loading are the best ones. If
confirmed, this would be a significant step forward towards excess
heat reproducibility.
